Lynbrook, NY --  Members of the 2009 Lynbrook Titans wrestling squad joined with Mayor Brian Curran, residents of Lynbrook and the Board of Trustees to celebrate the induction of Lynbrook High School  graduate Kevin Murphy to the USA National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum.  Murphy was an outstanding high school wrestler at Lynbrook High School, who went on to the University of Massachusetts where he wrestled there four years and emerged as a two-time New England University Champion.  He has continued to participate in wrestling as a coach of the Lynbrook Titans wrestling program, distinguishing himself as a positive role model.  He has motivated hundreds of young wrestlers participating in the Lynbrook youth program and has volunteered and donated countless hours working with the young wrestlers from Lynbrook for the past 27 years.  Even with his long work hours as the Managing Director of Citigroup, Murphy still makes the time to run the Lynbrook Kid Wrestling program. His personal motivation in wrestling is obvious and contagious to the youngsters.  The Lynbrook Titans Wrestling completed its 31st season with nearly 150 youth wrestling enthusiasts spending Saturday mornings in Lynbrook Kindergarten Center gymnasium learning the skills and discipline of one of the World's first sports. The focus of Titans Wrestling is not on winning and losing, but on building character through self confidence, self discipline, determination, and perseverance.  With 4 coaches involved for nearly 20 plus years each, Titans Wrestling has established a rich tradition of sportsmanship and excellence.  If you are interested in serving as a coach or registering a child, call Hilary Becker at 516-887-0677 x-303.
